The angels are lost in the city of stars
G5          C5              G5             C5
the wise men are down on their knees.

And the fruitman of freeway will sell you his cars
G5          C5              G5             C5
when he's sure that you can't find the keys.

And the ladies on Magdalene lane 
    A5                   D5              G5
all worship the sun and the sand.
   A5                   D5              G5

The wizard brought benzadrine smiles
 A5                   D5              G5
and he never let Dorothy doze.
  A5                   D5              G5
She died as she walked down the aisle
   C5            A5              D5

but there's no one to listen or learn.
G5           C5            G5            C5
And the savior performs for the prophet's delight
G5           C5            G5            C5
while dissenters are banished or burned.

A5              D5          G5
And the heretics beg to be heard

Magdalene Lane is the red light domain
G5           C5            D5
where everyone's soul is for sale.
G5        C5         G5         C5
A piece of your heart will do for a start
G5           D5              G5
but you can send us the rest in the mail.

I only know I'm leaving here tomorrow
C5          A5         D5         G5
and only the motel man knows my name


Enjoy!
